TEHRAN (IQNA) – After falsely accusing Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement of trying to attack Mecca, Certain Arab media outlets are continuing their propaganda campaign against the group by claiming it has banned Quran sessions.

Saudi daily al-Sharq al-Awsat and a number of other outlets
claimed on Sunday that the Houthis have prevented a charity society in the city
of Amran, west of the country, from holding Quran teachings sessions in the city.

They alleged that the Ansarullah movement has told the
society they can teach everything except memorization of the Quran.

The movement has denied the accusations.

Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia claimed it had intercepted a
ballistic missile launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen toward
Mecca.

They claimed Houthi fighters launched a Scud missile from
Saada province toward Mecca at 21:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Thursday.

The Houthis confirmed the launch of a Scud-type ballistic
missile known as Burkan-1 into Saudi Arabia, but said the projectile was
targeting the city of Jeddah – not Islam’s holiest city, which lies just over
60 kilometers (37 miles) away.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies
have been launching deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in
an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour
Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

They have failed to achieve their objective, but nearly
10,000 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in
the deadly military campaign.
